Hardly a Brexit issue. It's the choice of how to control the border, as it should be controlled, problem. No doubt things will get streamlined when France/EU and the UK start trying to make progress.

EU won't exist by then, Hymie. You'd best look around for a new hobby, mate.

Come next summer, while sitting in a car for 10 hours with screaming kids – waiting to board a ferry to Calais, you’ll remember this post and be thinking ‘this has nothing to do with Brexit’.

Can't see the gift, personally. More like just another pop at Brexit for the sake of it. Kids began to scream in long queues long before Brexit by the way!

[Hymie]

Yes, but you didn’t have to wait 10 hours to board a ferry.

[Stableford]

Well hop on a dinghy then, like the thousands of others!

Keep popping, Hymie. It'll take them some time but It'll happen. :-)

If you've any sense and a situation prevails that is likely to lead to that, you wouldn't go anywhere near a ferry to France.

But of course we don't know whether such problems will prevail and until we do this is isle speculation:

"He said it could take 10 minutes to register one car carrying four people: two minutes per passenger and then two minutes for the vehicle."

But then:

"However, the port does not yet know what technology will be used and therefore exactly how long the process will take."
